Baby Great Horned Owl (Owlet – Fledgling)

Photography by Rob McKay

It photographed this baby owl on May 24th, the owlet is the great horned variety and this little fledgling owl gave me quite a show hamming it up on an old log. What a treat it was getting full sensor/framed shots of this owlet at eye level.
The photo on the left of this baby owl is a crop from the image below.

Even at this young age, the owlet has a VERY serous stare as seen above.
